Main text

Chapter 86 The Son of Root Runs Away from Home

Xiaolin didn't tell anyone what she heard.

Everyone was chatting about their own things, and the atmosphere was lively.

Joan of Arc, who was originally incarnated in Karen's body, unexpectedly benefited from the incident of breaking into the Garden of Eden and has now obtained a complete Spirit Origin.

Karen, the best little angel in the Luo family, has finally regained her own body after a long time.

She is currently being held in the arms of her best friend Joan of Arc, who is feeding her with great affection.

Having merged for nearly two months, the two have explored each other's memories and are now truly the most familiar strangers.

Originally, Joan of Arc was a little jealous of Karen because of the Garden of Eden incident.

But because Luo Zhen immediately merged with her and used her as he pleased, turning her into his possession (?).

This led to her clinging to Luo Zhen even more blatantly when he restored her spirit origin, and for a while she stubbornly clung to his arm and refused to let go.

Since they've already had such a deeper relationship, of course the Holy Maiden wouldn't be jealous of her younger sister!

"So, Luo Zhen, who exactly are you?"

Irisviel, with her long hair tied up, took a small bite of the hot fish tofu, her lips glistening and moist.

Her ruby-like eyes shone brightly:

"Are you a Heroic Spirit? What is your true name? And when did you descend to earth?"

"Hmm, let me explain slowly."

They were comrades who had entrusted their lives to each other, and Luo Zhen had no intention of hiding it from Irisviel any longer.

Moreover, he had already told Artoria about these things beforehand, and the two had exchanged a lot of information while delivering food.

Luo Zhen told Irisviel everything about how he escaped from the Root and stole a Heroic Spirit's Spirit Origin.

The android princess was naturally very shocked.

"Even within the source, you can still maintain your own soul... Lord Luo, how did you come to be here? How did you enter the source?"

"I don't know, I've forgotten," Luo Zhen replied casually.

This made Irisviel admire her even more.

It is said that humans are thinking reeds.

But how could there be such a strong reed in this world?

Moreover, his soul was so powerful that it could endure unimaginable time without being annihilated by the endless amount of information from the source.

...Then wouldn't he be the third law itself, the "materialization of the soul"?

Irisviel suppressed her trembling heart.

She forced herself to calm down and think things through, trying not to dwell on such uncertain matters.

"So, Luo Zhen, your Spirit Origin is the Ruler from the Third Holy Grail War?"

"But in the end, you didn't get involved in that war, did you?"

"Yeah, because I've been hiding."

Luo Zhenru said this.

It is very difficult to escape the root cause.

Luo Zhen finally got that opportunity when the "Fuyuki Greater Grail was corrupted during the Third War" occurred in the history of humankind, and he seized the opportunity.

After arriving in reality through the Arbiter's Spirit Origin, Rōjin did not perform a normal spirit descent.

He turned into a piece of amber.

In order to evade the suppressor force, Luo Zhen has been carefully modifying his spirit origin, hiding himself, and integrating himself into the rules of reality.

To this end, he constructed a very sturdy outer shell to ensure that no information could flow between the inside and outside, thus preventing it from being detected.

But this also has a side effect: he can't break through the outer shell from the inside.

He needs someone to discover him from the outside world and help him break free of his shell before he can truly integrate into this world.

“I waited for over fifty years. It wasn’t until three years ago, when Orange found me, that I was finally free.”

Oh... This is the first time Canaan and the others have heard such a detailed account, and they all look at Orange with gossipy eyes.

This fully satisfied Orange's vanity, making the older sister very proud.

But before she could say anything proud, Yuzhu took a bite of radish without any particular interest:

"Then Orange used the excuse of being Luo Zhen's savior to make him work like a slave for her. She was like a heartless boss."

"Then he even wanted to use Luo Zhen to persecute his own sister. The fact that he could come up with a plot like 'making his sister fall in love with a handsome guy, and then having the handsome guy dump her and come back to his side' shows how bad his taste is."

"I didn't put it that bluntly, okay!"

Orange slammed her hand on the table:

"I only asked him to gather information about Aoko, I didn't expect them to have any romantic involvement!!"

Orange was saying things she didn't even believe herself, desperately trying to refute Yuzhu.

But even a child wouldn't be fooled by that.

Karen, sitting between Yuzhu and Jeanne, gave Orange a very disappointed look.

Aunt Orange was about to become the lowest of the food chains present, so she quickly changed the subject:

"Stop with this boring nonsense and get down to business!"

"In short, how do you plan to continue this Holy Grail War? There are clearly problems now; who still wants to fight for the Holy Grail?"

"Yeah, I also suggest we all tear it down together."

Luo Zhen immediately spoke:

"Avisbro has caused such a commotion, but the Holy Grail still hasn't reacted at all."

"So far, all the Heroic Spirits are still special summoned and not supplied with mana, which is a huge problem. I propose that we go together and dismantle the Greater Grail to prevent future troubles."

Yes, the knowledgeable people present all nodded in agreement.

The Masters known in the war so far are Rōzen, Irisviel, Canaan, and Waver.

Including the deceased Kenneth, five out of the seven teams were eliminated.

Excluding Kenneth, of the remaining four teams, apart from Webber, the other three have no ambition for the Holy Grail.

In particular, Irisviel's goal from the beginning was to dismantle the Greater Grail, which should be consistent with Ryougi's.

However, the reason they did not decisively become allies before was because they still had disagreements about how to deal with the magical circuits of the Winter Maiden in the Greater Grail.

"So, Luo Zhen, you want the Winter Saintess's magic circuits so you can be a victim?"

"Correct."

Luo Zhen responded clearly:

"I need to maintain my Heroic Spirit Origin. But this Origin is from the same source as the Fuyuki Greater Grail, so simply relying on the method of infusing magic power into the flesh won't work."

"I need the Winter Saintess's magic circuits to be engraved on my spirit origin so that I can continuously provide magic power."

Irisviel fell silent for a moment.

In fact, as someone who cannot even digest the root of the problem, Luo Zhen's soul is already immortal and indestructible; the outer layer of heroic spirit base is actually a burden to him.

But once he reveals his true nature, the restraining force will immediately come knocking, determining that he is something that should not exist in this world.

That's all; even his inhibitory power couldn't do anything to him.

But then something even more terrifying will come to take him home.

This is what Luo Zhen would rather die than comply with.

In order to maintain this spiritual foundation of the outer shell, Luo Zhen cannot provide magic power himself and must seek input from the outside world.
